From Bartow to Canton: A Story of Purpose and Power

Born in Bartow, Florida, Ray Lewis overcame extraordinary odds on his journey to the NFL. The oldest of five raised by a single teenage mother, Lewis developed strength and purpose early in life—fueled by a desire to protect his family and uplift those around him. He famously chose the number 52 as a tribute to the 52-card push-up routine he used to build the strength to defend his mother from domestic abuse.

Lewis’s talent and tenacity carried him to the University of Miami, where he became an All-American linebacker and the motivational core of a top-ranked defense. In 1996, he became the Baltimore Ravens’ second-ever draft pick. What followed was nothing short of legendary.

An NFL Legacy Like No Other

Over 17 seasons with the Ravens, Ray Lewis redefined the linebacker position and became one of the most feared and respected leaders in the game. His accolades include:

• 2-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year (2000, 2003)
• 13-time Pro Bowl selection (most by a linebacker in NFL history)
• 10-time All-Pro
• Super Bowl XXXV MVP
• Super Bowl XXXV & XLVII Champion
• NFL 2000s All-Decade Team & NFL 100 All-Time Team
• The only player in NFL history with 40+ sacks and 30+ interceptions

Lewis holds numerous Ravens franchise records, including tackles and fumbles recovered. But beyond the stats, his legacy is one of ferocious leadership, discipline, and an unwavering will to win.

A New Chapter: Author, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist

After retiring in 2012, Lewis transitioned into a life of impact off the field. His bestselling memoir, I Feel Like Going On, chronicles his life journey and continues to inspire readers to rise above circumstance.

In 2015, Lewis co-founded Power52, a nonprofit focused on renewable energy job training in underserved communities. In addition, from 2019 to 2023, he was a featured analyst on Showtime’s Inside the NFL.
